For Airlines, OEMs and MRO bases in the Americas: evaluate a ground-based landing gear change workflow designed to free up staff, reduce crane dependency and increase control during execution.
Save 16 + hours per main‑gear change
side & drag stays remain fitted, so preparation and rigging steps vanish.
Ground‑based, all‑electric control
no cranes, no on‑wing work, just two engineers and an 8″ HMI touchscreen for precise joystick moves.
One tool, every wide‑body
adaptors cover A330/A340, A350‑900/‑1000, A380, 777 (incl. X) and 787 families.
Conventional Set Up
New Way of MLG Change
What you can expect from utilizing the LGX MultiSystem in your Operations
Maintenance bases win when execution is predictable and repeatable. LGX is built to support:
- The “One trolley fits all” approach allows for one base platform with interchangeable adaptors, improving availability and reliability.
- Less dependency on crane allocation on the critical path
- Controlled movements supported by real-time monitoring
- A workflow that can be trained and replicated across multiple bases
Customer Story
British Airways Maintenance Cardiff proves the LGX advantage
During a 12‑year heavy check in July 2025, two BAMC engineers completed a Boeing 787‑8 main‑landing‑gear change with the LGX MultiSystem and no overhead crane. Real‑time load‑cell monitoring kept bearing loads within AMM limits, while side‑ and drag‑stay assemblies remained fitted, eliminating a major removal/re‑installation sequence and cutting man‑hours dramatically. Engineer Richard Langdon summed it up:
“The gear never moved unless we told it to, so the job felt far safer and more controlled than the conventional method.”

RH Aero and BAEW - First 777-200 MLG Change Utilizing LGX MultiSystem
British Airways Engineering Wales (BAEW) recently completed a successful main landing gear replacement on a Boeing 777-200 utilizing the LGX MultiSystem, the fully electric, ground-based landing gear change solution from RH Aero Systems.

RH Aero and BAMC - First 787-8 MLG Change with LGX MultiSystem
British Airways Maintenance Cardiff (BAMC) has successfully performed a main landing gear change on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner using the LGX MultiSystem, RH Aero Systems’ fully electric, ground-based landing-gear change system.
Field experience on the 787‑8, 777-200 and A330 gear change shows a double‑digit hour reduction because side‑ and drag‑stays stay on the landing gear and no crane rig‑up is necessary.
Adapters for Airbus A330, A340, A350‑900/‑1000, A380‑800 and Boeing 777 (all variants) plus 787‑8/‑9/‑10 are qualified, with further validations under way.
No. The ground‑based trolley keeps the gear fully supported, so wing‑skin removal is avoided on 787 and A350 models.*
* A350 & 787 actuator work: avoiding top‑skin removal requires an upcoming LGX‑compatible actuator R/I adapter (development in progress).
Yes — the base unit is IP 54‑rated and CE ‑ compliant, making apron or remote AOG work possible.
